Such as loaddata.com or others? What do you think of it?

Yes. loaddata.com Well worth the money. It has loads from the best of the gun writers in it. Loads from the Wolfe Publishing magazines, Rifle, Handloads and Successful Hunter, articles are in there too.

I also subscribe to their online magazines. I get them two weeks before they are mailed for less money.

HTH

Any other subscription sites you'd recommend, or is this the top of the pile?

I keep almost all my back copies of Handloader and Rifle for references. So my question is, "Can you research the back copies of the online mags like you can the hard copies"?

On a personal note do you take your lap top to the men's room so you have something to read while your there? LOL

I would be lost without my reading material. 8-)

Exactly right, and why the hard copies are best!

You can take them with you to the throne room, range, on the road, loan 'em to friends, take 'em to gunshops to compare data to manuals you don't have, and may or may not want to actually buy, whatever.

Far too many places to obtain loading info to have to subscribe to Loaddata

These guys are just not technical! Of course I can take my laptop to the throne room! We buy toilet paper so the hard copy isn't really needed. Maybe back in the day.....................................

Loaddata.com is the BEST source for ammunition loading bar none. It has all of the data from these great magazines and I don't have to remember which issue it is in. Simply do a load search, up pops about a gazillion loads and I am good to go.

There is another option for you though. Reloader's Reference. It is downloadable and is free: Here: Reloaders' Reference | Download Reloaders' Reference software for free at SourceForge.net

It is an awesome tool to. You can store your loads in it as well as print targets, firearms manuals, just a bunch of stuff. Download it and check it out. Oh, it has data from all the major players in the manual game too.

Technology can be your friend!

Oh, BTW, don't forget to remove the staples

You are right. I ain't technical.
